Burning Coal in Wood Stove
Is anyone burning Anthracite coal in a wood burning stove? It seems there should be a way to accomplish this using some sort of cast iron grate. Does anyone know anything about this? Where can I buy a cast iron grate for coal burning? Thanks for any help you can lend.

Updating on Old Rock Fireplace
We tore the fireplace insert out and are going to replace it with the old wood-stove that I had in my childhood home. I am looking for ideas I am really into rustic, western, nature and just old decor in general. It is a rock fireplace and pretty large, any ideas for this space ? I have even thought about taking the shelves out of one or both side.

Product Review: Soot Eater Chimney Rod
I wanted to clean my chimney before I started using the fireplace. I went to my local Ace Hardware Store and purchased the 'Soot Eater Chimney Rod' for $82. This contraption looks like a weedeater and basically works like one! I used my husband's cordless drill or you can use an electric drill. It comes with 5 rods so it will fit nearly any size chimney in height and dimension
